Optimization of Green Hydrogel in Agriculture Based on Guar Gum by Response Surface Methodology

Abstract

Water plays an essential purpose in agricultural yield. Unfortunately, water shortages have led to desertification and salination of soils, threatening the durable progress of agriculture, horticulture, and food security, especially in dried regions, where water resources are a severe problem. The hydrogel absorbed the water, released it to the plants as required while maintaining the soil moist during long periods. Biopolymer as guar gum-based hydrogel is becoming one of the most green ways to hydrogel materials for water retention. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in hydrogel technology as a result of high energy consumption to make process control and optimization of synthesis and development. Sustainable environment for hydrogel technology was integrated by AI model.
